Description
Description:
If a user is mentioned within a subthread of a channel of which he isn's member, no notification is pushed to user.
Steps to reproduce:
- open channel
- open open new subthread
- mention a user which is no member of the channel
Expected behavior:
since user mention of channel nonmembers is pushed to user, I would expect the same if user mention happens within a subthread.

Research direction

Done means the mentioned nonmember receives the expected notification from the subthread, with coverage for the reported steps.
